SUMMARY:MoSt Poetry Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Dust Bowl Venus by Stella Beratlis (Sixteen Rivers Press\, 2021) \nJoin our online discussion  of Dust Bowl Venus by Stella Beratlis on Wednesday\, February 23\, 2022 at 6:30pm PT. Prior reading is not required. Copies of the book are available to borrow at the circulation desk of the Modesto Stanislaus County Library.  To check on the books’ status\, please call 209-558-7808. \nRegister in advance for the Zoom link: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0vc-Gtqz0pHdQn9dapR_G_8EvWCeuvrtvg \n\n“With tenderness\, wit and humor\, Dust Bowl Venus explores the fragility of love\, good health an:d the earth. Rooted not just in the places of the City of Modesto but also in the music\, legends\, and community of the Central Valley\, these poems brilliantly reflect a struggle to find beauty in the contradictions of our contemporary lives. Amazingly thoughtful and musical\, these are poems we should all read.” —July Halebsky\, author of Sky=Empty\, Tree Line\, and Spring and a Thousand Years (Unabridged) \n“Stella Beratlis’s Dust Bowl Venus animates California’s Central Valley as a postmodern Prometheus\, an eco-sapient Frankenstein with whom we wrangle\, wrestle\, and fall madly in love. Marked with sass and grit and grace\, Beratlis’s imagistic associations jolt and jump cut in powers of ten. These poems stir us with the urgency of the Anthropocene\, excite ‘a thicket of nerves\,’ and form a ‘mycorrhizal web’ that connects us to the mantle of deep time.” —Rosa Lane\, author of Chouteau’s Chalk and Tiller North \n“The poems in Stella Beratlis’s Dust Bowl Venus ring with the clarity of a shovel strike against stone\, each line cracking against the next\, igniting spark after glorious spark. And yet\, like the seasonal lake bed on which Modesto sits\, like the many hands ‘making mud out of dry soil\,; every poem aches toward tenderness. In one poem\, Beratlis asks ‘What grows here?’ before revealing the bounty—heirloom tomatoes\, holy basil\, kindness—that can be coaxed from this ‘city of drought.’ But darker things grow here\, too: a tumor ‘the consistency of a potato\,’ fear\, terror that ‘builds cell by sticky cell.’ Here\, to grow\, and to love\, is to risk vulnerability. These ‘bone and ligament narratives’ of grief and yearning\, illness and healing\, perseverance and resistance\, beat with so much heart in this fiercely beautiful book.” —Erin Rodoni\, author of Body\, in Good Light and A Landscape for Loss \n\nStella Beratlis grew up in a second-generation Greek-American family in Northern California. Her latest collection\, Dust Bowl Venus\, was published in May 2021. She is also the author of Alkali Sink (Sixteen Rivers Press\, 2015). Her work has also appeared in numerous journals\, including Harbor Review\, Penumbra\, Song of the San Joaquin\, In-Posse Review\, and California Quarterly\, as well as in the anthologies The Place That Inhabits Us: Poems from the San Francisco Bay Watershed (Sixteen Rivers Press\, 2010) and California Fire and Water: A Climate Crisis Anthology (Story Streets\, 2020). She is coeditor of the collection More Than Soil\, More Than Sky: The Modesto Poets (Quercus Review Press\, 2011) and served as the poet laureate of Modesto from 2016–2020. Beratlis lives in Modesto and is a librarian there. \nYou are invited to a Zoom meeting.\nWhen: Feb 23\, 2022 06:30 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada) \nRegister in advance for this meeting: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0vc-Gtqz0pHdQn9dapR_G_8EvWCeuvrtvg \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

SUMMARY:MoSt Poetry Book Club   Vantage by Taneum Bambrick
DESCRIPTION:MoSt Poetry Book Club will meet Wednesday\, July 20\, 2022 at 4:30 pm Pacific at the Modesto Stanislaus County Library downstairs in the Maker’s Space. Sara Coito will lead a discussion of this month’s selection\, Vantage by Taneum Bambrick. One or two copies of the book are still available to borrow at the library desk. \nWinner of the APR/Honickman First Book Prize\, selected by Sharon Olds (who writes the introduction)\, Vantage is a fictionalized account of the poet’s time spent working as the only woman on a six-person garbage crew around the reservoirs of two massive dams. Bambrick began writing poems in order to document the forms of violence she witnessed towards the people and the environment of the Columbia River. Power—literal and metaphorical—runs through the collection and its stories\, as Bambrick finds connection across the lines.

SUMMARY:MoSt Poetry Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, November 21\, 2022     6:30-7:30 p.m.       \nStanislaus County Library Makerspace    1500 I Street\, Modesto \n The Hurting Kind by Ada Limón \nJoin host Gary Thomas for a discussion of The Hurting Kind by Ada Limón\, the author of six books of poetry\, including The Carrying\, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry.  Limón is also the host of the critically-acclaimed poetry podcast\, The Slowdown.  Her new book of poetry\, The Hurting Kind\, is out now from Milkweed Editions.  She is the 24th Poet Laureate of The United States. \n5 copies of the book are available (while they last) to check out at the Modesto Library (1500 I Street.). \n An astonishing collection about interconnectedness—between the human and nonhuman\, ancestors and ourselves—from National Book Critics Circle Award winner\, National Book Award finalist\, and U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón.  \n “I have always been too sensitive\, a weeper / from a long line of weepers\,” writes Limón.  “I am the hurting kind.”  What does it mean to be the hurting kind?  To be sensitive not only to the world’s pain and joys\, but to the meanings that bend in the scrim between the natural world and the human world?  To divine the relationships between us all? To perceive ourselves in other beings—and to know that those beings are resolutely their own\, that they “do not / care to be seen as symbols”? \n \n“Ada Limón’s sixth and latest collection is a testament to the power of sensitivity. As with her previous award-winning books\, The Carrying and Bright Dead Things\, these poems are acutely aware of the natural world. And Limón has a knack for acknowledging nature’s little mysteries in order to fully capture its history and abundance. For her\, evidence of poetry is everywhere. She connects big ideas – fear\, isolation\, even death – with little details\, like field sparrows\, a box of matches or “the body moving / freely.” Above all\, The Hurting Kind asks for our attention to stay tender.” NPR\, Books We Love \n“”Poetry readers have come to expect greatness from Limón\, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award and finalist for the National Book Award\, and that is exactly what the author offers in The Hurting Kind. . . . My most brief statement on the quality of this collection is this: If you have space to teach just one book of poetry\, make it The Hurting Kind. . . . What Limón manages with The Hurting Kind is rare; the poems are at once highly specific and yet broadly relatable\, both technically masterful and easily comprehensible. In sum\, this collection works equally well for both the avid poetry enthusiast and the reluctant reader. If I was going to try and convince someone that poetry is our most important verbal art\, I would start with The Hurting Kind. . . . The Hurting Kind is a collection that begs to be shared\, and one that will inevitably show signs of wear as readers carry it with them for weeks at a time.”—The Poetry Question \n

DESCRIPTION:“The late W.S.

SUMMARY:MoSt Poetry Book Club - Information Desk by Robyn Schiff
DESCRIPTION:MoSt Poetry Book Club meets at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday\, February 17\, 2024 at BakeShop\, 11th Street in downtown Modesto to discuss Information Desk by Robyn Schiff. You can pick up a copy of the book at the Stanislaus County Library’s Modesto Branch. Here’s what the publisher\, Penguin Random House\, has to say: \n\n\n\nABOUT INFORMATION DESK\nNew York Times Book Review Edtitors’ Choice \n“Among the year’s highlights . . . groundbreaking\, epic . . . Like visitors exiting the Met’s galleries\, readers will emerge from Information Desk bedazzled by the transformative horizons of art.” —Washington Post \n“An effluvial rush of memory\, desire\, data\, and metaphor . . . It’s bracing to encounter a mind so voracious\, so unapologetic in its intelligence.” —New York Review of Books \nA book-length poem set in the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, from a writer whose work offers “something few poets ever discover: a vision of the whole world” (Dan Chiasson\, The New Yorker) \nRobyn Schiff’s fourth collection is an ambitious book-length poem in three parts set at The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s information desk\, where Schiff long ago held a staff position. Elaborately mapping an interconnected route in and out of the museum through history\, material\, and memory\, Information Desk: An Epic takes us on an anguished soul-quest and ecstatic intellectual query to confront the violent forces that inform the museum’s encyclopedic collection and the spiritual powers of art. \nNovelistic in its sweep\, frantically informative\, and deeply intimate in its private recollections\, Information Desk: An Epic wayfares with riveting lyric intensity through an epic array of topics and concerns\, including illusion\, deception\, self-deception\, complicity\, lecherous coworkers\, the composition of pigment\, the scattering of seeds\, ideas\, and capital\, and insect infestations spreading within artwork. Along the way\, Schiff pauses to invoke three terrifying muses—parasitic wasps—in desperate awe of their powers of precision and generative energy. Information Desk: An Epic undertakes a hemorrhaging ekphrastic journey through artifice and the natural world.

SUMMARY:Poetry Book Club--Modern Poetry by Diane Seuss
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at 10:00 a.m. Saturday\, July 27\, 2024 at Bakeshop\, 940 Eleventh Street in Modesto for MoSt Poetry Book Club. Linda Scheller will facilitate a discussion of Modern Poetry\, the latest collection by Diane Seuss. Copies are available at the Modesto Library main desk. You’re always more than welcome to come and enjoy the discussion whether or not you’ve read the book! This event is free and open to the public. \n“Diane Seuss’s signature voice—audacious in its honesty\, virtuosic in its artistry\, outsider in its attitude—has become one of the most original in contemporary poetry. Her latest collection takes its title\, Modern Poetry\, from the first textbook Seuss encountered as a child and the first poetry course she took in college\, as an enrapt but ill-equipped student\, one who felt poetry was beyond her reach. Many of the poems make use of the forms and terms of musical and poetic craft—ballad\, fugue\, aria\, refrain\, coda—and contend with the works of writers overrepresented in textbooks and anthologies and those too often underrepresented. Seuss provides a moving account of her picaresque years and their uncertainties\, and in the process\, she enters the realm between Modernism and Romanticism\, between romance and objectivity\, with Keats as ghost\, lover\, and interlocutor.” —https://www.graywolfpress.org/books/modern-poetry \n \nDiane Seuss is the author of six books of poetry\, including Modern Poetry; frank: sonnets\, winner of the Pulitzer Prize\, the National Book Critics Circle Award\, the Los Angeles Times Book Prize\, and the PEN/Voelcker Prize; Still Life With Two Dead Peacocks and a Girl\, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize; and Four-Legged Girl\, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. She was a 2020 Guggenheim Fellow\, and in 2021 she received the John Updike Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. She lives in Michigan.
